Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is into vintage fashion and thrift shopping, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas you can consider. Here are a few suggestions to help you find the perfect Christmas gift:

1. Vintage Clothing Subscription: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a vintage clothing service. These services deliver curated vintage clothing to your doorstep on a monthly or quarterly basis. It allows your son to explore new styles, discover unique pieces, and expand his vintage fashion collection.

2. Thrift Shopping Tour: Organize a thrift shopping tour in your city or a nearby vintage hotspot. Visit different thrift stores, flea markets, and second-hand shops together. This experience will not only allow your son to find new treasures but also create lasting memories and bond over shared interests.

3. Custom Vintage Map: Create a custom vintage map featuring all the best thrift stores in your area or a city your son loves. You can either create the map yourself or find a local artist who specializes in custom map illustrations. Frame it for a unique and personalized Christmas gift.

4. Vintage Accessories: Look for unique vintage accessories such as sunglasses, watches, hats, or jewelry that complement your son's style. These one-of-a-kind pieces can make great conversation starters and add a touch of authenticity to his outfits.

5. Fashion History Book: Consider gifting your son a book that delves into the history of vintage fashion or explores the evolution of different trends. Books like "Vintage Fashion & Couture: From Poiret to McQueen" by Kerry Taylor or "The Little Book of Vintage Fashion" by Amber Butchart can provide insights and inspiration for his fashion endeavors.

6. Vintage Fashion Magazine Subscription: Get your son a subscription to a vintage fashion magazine. Publications like "Vogue Archive" or "Harper's Bazaar Vintage" offer a unique glimpse into the fashion trends and styles of different eras. This will keep him updated on vintage fashion and provide endless inspiration.

7. DIY Vintage Fashion Kit: Put together a DIY vintage fashion kit that includes supplies for upcycling or customizing vintage clothing. Include items like fabric dyes, patches, buttons, fabric markers, and sewing notions. This gift allows your son to unleash his creativity and turn thrifted pieces into unique fashion statements.

8. Vintage Fashion Photography Print: Find a vintage-inspired fashion photograph or artwork that resonates with your son's style. Consider purchasing a high-quality print or even an original piece from a local artist. This gift not only adds a stylish touch to his living space but also reflects his love for vintage fashion.

Remember, the most important aspect of a meaningful gift is understanding your son's interests and passions. By choosing something that aligns with his love for vintage fashion and thrift shopping, you're sure to make this Christmas gift special and memorable.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
